| A children's bike trailer is great when you're on the move, but what happens once you arrive at the grocery store? With a normal trailer you'd just park it outside, but with the Schwinn Mark III, you can convert it to a handy stroller and bring your kids inside. The Mark III sports a lightweight aluminum chassis that provides space for up to two children, along with a zip-down weather shield that protects them from rain, wind, and other inclement weather. More importantly, the trailer is designed for quick, tool-free conversion, with a universal trailer coupler that attaches to any bike and a flip-out front wheel and handlebar for the stroller. It's easy to use, fun, and versatile. Perhaps the most significant feature, however, is the size of the front wheel (16 inches), which gives the Mark III enough stability to function as a jogging stroller in addition to a walking stroller. Other details include smooth-rolling, 20-inch rear wheels with a quick-release design for easy storage; a hideaway clear window; a dual harness system; outrigger wheel guards; and a screened canopy for ventilation. The Mark III measures 52.5 by 20 by 34.5 inches (W x H x D) in trailer form, offers a maximum weight limit of 100 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty. About Schwinn

 GREAT Buy! |

| I have been wanting one of these for a long time and was finally able to purchase it. It is wonderful. I only have one child at this time and he loves it. It is so easy to manouever. Easy to make turns, I can jog behind it and roller blade behind it w/ ease - it is so light wieght. My son loves the windows and all of the room it offers. It converts super easy to a bike trailer too. The front covering allows either a mesh screen, or a plastic cover to protect from hard winds or if it were to start to rain. My son likes to have both of them up so he can look around w/ the fresh air on his face. If looking at a bike stroller I would highly recommend this one. Schwinn is a great company and if you are looking for something that moves easily, I recommend getting one w/ the larger stable wheel out in front. I cannot say enough great things about it. I love it and so does my family!! |
Excellent Product!!!

| This bike trailer is not only well priced, but very well designed. The front tire locks in and doesn't turn which is much safer if you are running or moving quickly. When jogging you don't want a front tire that turns as the child can easily be flipped out. There's plenty of room for blankets or pillows if your child is a bit small. This was very easy to put together, took me 5 minutes. The front wheel slips on easily in seconds. This is absolutely a wonderful bike trailer and stroller for the money. Everything was perfect right out of the box, Schwinn did a wonderful job in engineering this product. |
Fantastic!

We love this trailer! I can pull my kids (3yr and 9mo) in this no problem. I barely feel them behind me because it's so light weight. We knew when we bought this the buckles were going to be hard to undo, and we needed extra padding for them to sit on. The reviews were right, but once we figured out a good way for the buckles, and I just laid down a light blanket underneath for extra support, we were good to go.
It was really easy to put together, although the directions weren't very clear. But, I would definitely buy this trailer again, and would even pay more for it. It converts to a jogging stroller, and I love the bigger wheel in front. It's a lot lighter than my double stroller, which is what I was using for jogging before I bought this. Great product! |
Just what we wanted

| This is just wonderful. Our baby enjoyed her first ride so much. She relaxed a lot and even she felt sleep. We are just wondering if we can put our baby's car seat inside so that our baby don't fall to any of the sides when she is there sleeping. |

Schwinn Mark III - looked very hard for about 3 weeks, new and used - went with the Schwinn and have no regrets. I weigh 101 lbs, my kids are 61 collectively and between them and the stroller it is a breeze!
Easy to convert to trailer - we will use the entire rig today.
Get Out!.....and get this jogger/trailer. |
Great Jogger & Bicycle Trailer for the Money

| Yes their is no padding, which I knew when I bought it, but all you need to do is pad it up yourself. Who cares if it does not look sporty or have seat cushions. We saved several $100's of dollars. It easily converts from jogger to bike trailer & vice versa with no tools. It comes with the 16" jogging wheel in lieu of those dinky front wheels you see on the others. Not to mention that my 40lb 43" tall 3 1/2 yr old plus my 20lb 8 month old fit in it perfectly. It manuever's great and I can't even tell I'm towing my girls behind me. This trailer/jogger system is amazing. I use it almost every day. Be smart and save your money by getting this. Also, the conversion kits to change from bike trailer to jogger costs around $130 and this one is already attached. I am so happy right now. I am an avid runner and now I love to ride my bike. Especially now that my girls are with me. My oldest daughter says she is comfortable and she loves it when her 8 month sister falls asleep on her. |
Easy Multi-purpose jogging stroller

| Review Date: February 22, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Devin Ascheman, |
Well designed light aluminum unit. Both sides are rigid and fold up from flat. A cross bar is attached to the back soft panel which attaches at the top to complete the frame. The cover has to be snapped on and off each time to use it. Side windows are rigid. The jogging handle and wheels are then added without requiring any tools. It takes about two minutes to assemble.
The bike attach bar and front wheel attach bar fold under and easily swing out for either use. Once assembled, it rolls great, even on the beach(same results when tested with a 6 and 4 year old). Turning is a breeze since the kids are sitting on the rear axle and and have a low center of gravity. Storage will hold two backpacks, and is covered. Unit will keep kids and gear completely dry in rainy environments. The only issue we have is that the back of the seats is a panel running from the axle to the top cross brack and does not recline when the kid falls asleep. Finally it fits fine in the back of my Venture minivan (so long as I clean out all the books, coats, juice boxes, toys, and general accumulation of my wife's adventures with the kids. but that is getting off topic).
I would buy it again. |
Not Bad,,,,,but not great either

First let me say I use this bike/jogging stroller quite a bit. I live in Florida and enjoy being outside and my son loves being outdoors as well. The Pros:
-Reasonable price compared to comprable products.
-Can be used as jogging OR bike stroller (see cons)
-Sturdy and breaks down reasonably well. (see cons)
-Can hold two kids (see cons)
The Cons:
-This is not for the avid runner. There are much more appropriate choices if running is extremely important to you. This is because the tire in the front doesn't track straight all the time without fine tuning (this is done every time you set the stroller up.
-Can hold two kids. This is great but can make the product cumbersome.
-Not completely solid. While the stroller is well built and is solid, by nature, the components that break down (front tire arm) have some play that can be annoying when running. Again if you want a running stroller then get a running stroller. This stroller works for me because it can be used for both running and biking and the fact that it can break down is a big bonus.
-Can be difficult to hook up to bike.
-Running handlebar a pain to attach and disconnect. (come on Schwynn engineers, you could have came up with a much better system)
Overall I would reccomend this despite my laundry list of cons. Its great if you want it for biking but want to jog with it as well but does have its shortcomings. |

| We love this bike trailer. It is so lightweight and rolls really easily. I hardly notice when it is on my bike... except on steep uphill climbs. Then, I can feel a little more resistance... but, not much! Like the other reviews said... the seat is a bit awkward. I made seat cushions for our 15-month old so that the back of the seat wouldn't push his helmet forward. That has worked really well, but now we're trying to figure out how to position him (or what kind of cushion to add) so that he doesn't flop over whenever he falls asleep. (It looks like he's folded in half at times.) Other than the seat issue, we really love the trailer. It's such a great buy for the money... we didn't want to spend $500 for a Burley, but we wanted something that had the large stroller wheel in front. |
